@sarvo i just dont have the heart to tell her

my dad has the worst manosphere philosophy now. i doubt hes still in the relationship he was in last time he talked to me.

spicy tuna handroll with cucumber and avocado my beloved

i dont like foucault but post-modernist philosophy can be cool

i dont know any happy nietzeians (not spelling his name properly). so much for the triumph of their will, or whatever they call it.

@satsuki your reasoning is wrong in more ways than one. for one, theres the obvious fallacy that because the human species cant exist without reproduction, the purpose of mankind is to reproduce. (or is just the purpose of women to reproduce? do you believe men have a higher purpose but not women?) this is kinda like saying that because women need to eat to live, their purpose is to devote their lives to enjoying food. second, for the species to exist some women need to reproduce, not all women. third, a woman can be a mother and also other things, and she usually is.

reducing the purpose of women to gestating a fetus reduces mankind to any other animal. we have a higher purpose than merely to exist. what is necessary is not the same as the supreme good. if a woman is to serve the actualization of others, as all mankind should do, she can in ways other than motherhood. our highest virtue as a species besides knowing God is our pro-sociality.

the notion that God will "cease to exist" for us if we stop reproducing is also wrong. as long as one serves God, God provides for the rest of their needs. as long as one knows God, they know no grief. if someone knows God, why does it matter if they reproduce or not?

finally, this inserts my religion into things, but its true, so ill say it. the point of being born as a human isnt to continue the human race, an existence which is separate from God. God will continue the human race fine if He wills it, and if He doesnt will it, then theres no point in striving against His will. the point of being born as a human is to escape the cycle of death and rebirth itself by knowing God. even if the human race perishes, the chance to know God does not perish, because one will be reborn in a different suitable form. so, again, knowing God is the prime purpose of humanity. from it care for other creatures, not just selfish human perpetuation regardless of the state we exist in, proceeds.

@genmaicha i think that knowledge without application is pointless. rote learning can be a form of ignorance, leading one to become set in their ways and to think they are erudite when they are not. youre right that reading even for pleasure is not merely pleasurable, it fosters virtues like creativity, curiosity, and yes, knowledge and critical thinking. but reading political theory without action? im skeptical of its utility. its one thing to read the communist manifesto in university and another to have your own pet political position and never go outside and act on it.

@satsuki actually the purpose of a human life is to know God, parenthood is secondary to this

frankly i think reading political theory and then proceeding to do nothing about it if you agree is a vice. since most people will do nothing about it, they shouldnt read it in the first place. if theyre intellectually curious, there are better things to read, things that will actually improve their life. for that matter, if it wont improve your life or someone elses, why read it?

@genmaicha i dont know much about maoism except the struggle sessions (cringe) but juche definitely sucks

@sandalphon if i remember correctly some phillipino christians crucify themselves

or wait, maybe its indonesian?

@magicalthinking intellectual property law sucks though. if it can benefit society, why not steal it, as long as you arent then selling it in a predatory way?

ive heard that hemorrhoids are caused by sitting too much and that would definitely explain things

why are so many reports to my instance of people that arent members of this instance

adultery didnt happen but he did some bad stuff

@magicalthinking not really but go off

my biggest disagreement with what Jesus supposedly said is that divorce is okay even when adultery doesnt happen. there are other ways to betray someone than having sex with someone else. anyway im the product of separation when i was extremely young and my mom did a much better job than my mom + my dad wouldve done.

i wonder if the east has bastardized western ideologies like we bastardized eastern ones

the fact that in turkey you can name your kid a name of God but you cant name him ataturk says a lot

so many conservative religious people say "i love women" and mean "i love mothers (who do what theyre told)". erdogan once said basically this straight up.
